where we define \(DTW(X,Y)\)  to be a Dynamic Time Warp similarity measure
between two discrete curves \(X\)  and \(Y\) , based upon the conclusions
in [1]}. We note that (1) DTW correctly matches temporally shifted
sequences of applied variance and observed performance (achieving
\(R^{*}(\mathcal {N},\kappa )\)  is not possible for realistic swarms), (2) DTW exhibits
robustness to signal noise, and SR systems are inherently stochastic.
